Chapter 509: Why Is She Still Not Satisfied?
"Why are he and I under the trending hashtags?" Lily asks curiously.
After taking the iPad and looking at the screen, she finally understands.
It turns out that after the promotional short movie about the new product goes viral on various video
websites and Weibo, some netizens try to find out who the male lead and female lead are, based on
their profiles in the video.
In the end, they do find out.
The netizens aren't surprised that Lily is in the video, but when they see that the male lead is Louis,
they are curious about how a busy big shot has the time to shoot a video, and then they start to gossip
online about the two leads.
When Lily worked in the Smith Group, there once was a piece of gossip that Lily and Louis were dating
each other. And now they have co-stared in a short movie. Thinking of all this, the netizens conclude
that the two of them are in a romantic relationship. The heated discussions are such that the two leads'
relationship becomes a trending hashtag.
Lily's mouth twitches when she read the online comments.
She never expected that Louis would participate in this short film.
When Louis came to attend the meeting with HS Company the other day, she and he quarreled over
the male actor. She challenged him that he would be worse if he were the male lead. This must be the
reason why he is in the video.
If she had known such a sensation was to happen, she wouldn't have argued with Louis.
Ella glances at Lily and says, "President Lily, about the news, should I...?"
"No, you don't have to take it down. Just ignore it." Lily returns the iPad to Ella. "They can say whatever
they want. They can't hurt me. Besides, we can use Mr. Smith's influence to promote our new product."
"Aren't you afraid that President Heller Hodge will be jealous?" Ella jokes.
Ever since John comes to the company, he has been taking good care of Lily. The employees all know
about it.
Previously, they thought it was just a rumor that spread in the industry. It turns out Lily and the new
CEO is really seeing each other.
Lily smiles, "He won't get jealous about a trending topic."
However, after Ella left, Lily thinks about it and is a little worried, so she calls John through the inside
line and tells him about the online gossip.
John expresses his understanding. "I understand."
Lily thinks that he really understands her, so she feels relieved and soon puts the matter behind her.
Afterwards, every time she goes to his office to see him, he barely talks to her, and he has a sullen
expression. About five days later, she finally realizes that he is angry.
"Why are you like this? I'm here with you. There is no one else. If it weren't for the promotion of the new
product, I wouldn't have made the movie with him." Lily doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at John's
sulk and jealousy.
"I know. I understand," John says. "I'm not jealous. Don't overthink it."
Lily doesn't say anything else.
Afraid that he will be like that in the next few days, Lily asks Ella to contact the media. She decides to
hold a press conference in HS Company.
It is held in the conference room in the afternoon.
At the press conference, Lily declares that she and Mr. Smith of the Smith Group are in a cooperative
relationship. The two companies are business partners. As to the rumor the netizens spread that she
and Louis are dating each other, it's false.
A reporter sees the huge pink diamond on her finger and asks loudly, "President Lily, who gave you
that pink diamond? Don't say you bought it yourself. We won't believe it!"
"Your eyes are really sharp." Lily smiles and raises her hand to show everyone the pink diamond. "This
pink diamond was given to me by my fiancé. Isn't it nice? I wear it specially to show it to you today."
"President Lily, who is your fiancé?"
"Sorry, I didn't tell you about this." Lily looks at the camera with a gentle smile. "My fiancé is known to
everyone. He is John Dawn, the new CEO of HS Company."
The reporters gasped.
Another reporter asks, "President Lily, are you getting married?"
Lily nods with a smile. "Yes, I've been visiting the bridal shops to pick out a wedding dress. We're
getting married at St. Peter Cathedral on the 25th of this month. You're all welcome to the wedding."
Lily's answer shocks the reporters.
They excitedly take photographs of her nonstop.
This is big news!
"President Lily!" A reporter raises his hand and says, "I heard that you used to date Mr. Smith. Does he
know that you are getting married? Will you invite him to your wedding?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Lily tucks her hair behind her ear and replies with a smile, "Mr. Smith and I are just friends. We have
never dated each other before. Of course, I will invite him. If Mr. Smith comes, I will be glad."
She looks at her watch and says politely, "Sorry everyone, I have to go. There is something I have to
deal with. If you have any other questions, my assistant will answer them."
Lily leaves immediately.
Not until she walks out of the meeting room that she lets out a long sigh of relief.
A press conference is really troublesome. You have to keep smiling no matter how embarrassing the
questions are. Otherwise, if your mood gets caught by the camera, the reporters will be making up
stories again.
"Lily."
John walks towards Lily with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
"Did you come over when you see the live broadcast?" Lily glances at him and says, "If I had known
the reporters would be so troublesome, I would have asked you to deal with them!"
John takes her hand and kisses it again and again. "Weren't we getting engaged at the end of this
month? Why did you change it?"
"I think it's too troublesome to get engaged and then get married." Lily said, "Let's just get married."
Every night, when she lies in bed, she feels a void in her heart. She doesn't know what she wants, and
she even doubts her feelings for John.
Therefore, she wants to marry John as soon as possible, afraid that the longer she waits, the more she
will doubt her decision.
Lily glances at him and asks, "You don't want to get married?"
How can he possibly not want to marry her?
He has been dreaming about marrying her for a few years, but now that his dream is coming true, he
feels that it is unreal.
When he thinks of how she told the media she was going to marry him, he can't suppress the
excitement in his heart. He bends down and kisses her. "I really want to. Lily, I love you."
"Not now. We're at the company. There are surveillance cameras everywhere." Lily pushes his face
away and says, "Pay attention to your image!"
"All right." John smiles as he moves away a little from her, but he is still holding her hand tightly. "I don't
think I can sleep tonight. What should I do?"
Lily is confused at first. After understanding what he means, she gives a wry smile.
She is getting married to John and is going to have a new life. She should be happy, but she doesn't
feel that kind of excitement at all. Instead, she feels a sense of loss.
She is living the life she wants, and there is a man who loves her. Why is she dissatisfied?
The marketing of HS Company's new product is doing well, and naturally the new product draws a lot
of attention.
The press conference Lily held in the meeting room of HS Company becomes a trending hashtag on
Weibo an hour later.
The news of Lily getting married to HS Company's new CEO is all over the network.
It's a sensation. Louis doesn't have to look into it. He finds out about it through some media.
As soon as he logs in Weibo, the news of her and John getting married is everywhere. He also sees
the live footage of Lily's press conference, where she shows the pink diamond to everyone with a
smile.
The pink diamond is huge and resplendent, and one can be fascinated after a single glance.
Louis looks at the pink diamond on her finger and frowns. He feels that he has seen the pink diamond
somewhere before.
He quickly pulls out his phone and opens the photo album on his phone.
The pink diamond in the photo album is exactly the same as the one on Lily's finger!
Louis dialed the number someone had used to call him that afternoon.
"Cartier Store." As soon as the call gets through, the person on the other end of the phone politely
asks, "Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?"
